I use the Map Enhancement tool with latest Bing Maps - colours and detail are very good. Google maps have good detail but poor colours in many places.

For example, the circuit diagrams and procedures for Popham Airfield (EGHP) highlight several noise-sensitive areas — including individual farm buildings, small villages, and even a petrol station. Unfortunately, the default XP12 scenery doesn’t display these key landmarks in an accurate placement. SimHeaven adds a lot of missing buildings, but not all of them. To get every ground feature shown on the airfield plate, ortho imagery is essential. Many YouTube videos that demonstrate the circuit for each runway also reference landmarks such as the “triangular field” or specific farm buildings when turning base-these are often missing without ortho. I understand that satellite imagery isn’t an option for the default scenery, but I do hope that future updates can include enough detail to make VFR circuit flying more realistic — ideally reaching or even surpassing the level of accuracy that SimHeaven has achieved, while remaining fully updateable.

November 6, 2025Nov 6 The current state of XP12 scenery is very good. I still want offline play so anything streaming is off the table for me. Realistic improvements to me would be 3 fold: real anti-aliasing less improper angular rivers/roads/coastlines/terrain boarders/etc increased level of detail i.e. less popup or farther draw-in
November 6, 2025Nov 6 I dont need the whole world i like the idea of smaller areas that i could purchase one time, no streaming with seasons and trees that match with the Ortho,,,
November 6, 2025Nov 6 Next release to be 12.3.1 Quote from the Discord post: Quote Our next update will be version 12.3.1, which will be a minor update. We’re taking the time needed to ensure we make the correct development path decisions. Your reports and insights are invaluable in helping us refine the experience. Looking ahead, we’ll be sharing more information about our plans and releasemap for X-Plane 12 soon— and there’s a lot to look forward to. 👀 We have a few interesting developments queued up that we can’t wait to talk about. 🤗 Thank you for your continued support and patience as we work to make X-Plane the best it can be! ❤️ Team Laminar Research
